If you wish to use only the wireless sensor included in the delivery, as a general rule, the transmission
channel does not need to be changed.
This is only necessary if you wish to use additional wireless sensors; see “Using additional wireless
sensors”.

Initial setup
Follow the instructions in the order described and first put the batteries in the wireless sensor. This is the
only way for the weather station to function without any problems.Do not press any buttons while switching
the device on.
Wireless sensor
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the wireless sensor.
2. Insert 2 LR6 (AA) / 1.5 V batteries facing in the direction indicated on the bottom of the battery
compartment. Make sure that the poles of the batteries are correct (+/-). As soon as the wireless sensor is
receiving power, the red pilot light will light up and thus display that data is being transmitted to the base
unit.
3. Put the battery compartment cover back in place.
- Do not use batteries that have a voltage that is too low (only 1.2 V instead of 1.5 V). This affects the
accuracy of the measurements, among other things.
- If possible, use alkaline batteries instead of zinc-carbon batteries. Alkaline batteries last longer,
particularly outside in low temperatures.
Using additional wireless sensors
The weather station comes with one wireless sensor. However, you can operate the weather station with up
to three wireless sensors.
• The wireless sensors can be located in different rooms or outdoors.
• Every sensor must be assigned its own sensor number (= number of the transmission channel) (1 to 3).
• For the snow and frost warning, the weather station only analyses the information from the sensor with the
lowest number (by default 1). If only one sensor is connected to channel 1, 2 or 3, the display will function
on all 3 channels.
Procedure:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the wireless sensor.
2. Set a different sensor number for each wireless sensor with the sliding switches.
3. Put the battery compartment cover back in place on the wireless sensors. If adding another sensor later
or after changing the batteries:
4. Press and hold the CH button on the base unit until the radio frequency symbol flashes. The base unit
will now retrieve the weather information from all available wireless sensors.
Base unit
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert 3 LR6 (AA) / 1.5 V batteries facing in the direction indicated on the bottom of the battery
compartment. Make sure that the poles of the batteries are correct (+/-).
3. Put the battery compartment cover back in place and close it.
4. Wait several minutes. The base unit needs this time to collect all the weather data.

Information : The device will lose all information when switching it on again.
Radio frequency connection
After the device turns on, radio frequency symbol will flash on the display and it will start to receive RF
signal from wireless sensor for 3 minutes, the corresponding outdoor temperature and humidity values will
be displayed.
If NOT received successfully, press and hold the CH button to reconnect.
About the time signal
General
The radio clock built into the weather station receives its wireless signals from the WWVB time signal
transmitter.
As soon as the base station has power from the batteries, it begins receiving and searches for the signal
from the WWVB transmitter. If the time signal is been received in sufficient strength, the date and time are
shown on the display. The base station switches on several times a day and synchronises the time with the
wireless signal from the transmitter WWVB. If there is no reception, e.g. in severe thunderstorms, the device
continues to run precisely and then automatically switches to receiving at the next scheduled time again.
Starting radio signal reception
After received RF signal for 3 minutes, the device will switch to RC receiving mode; the receiving symbol
will flash, and the number of radio waves on display indicates the quality of reception: The more radio
waves on display, the better the reception.
As soon as the signal has been received with sufficient strength, the corresponding information is shown on
the display and the radio tower symbol is permanently displayed. This process can take 7 minutes.
The weather station will now switch to receive automatically several times a day and compare the time
displayed with the time received from the time signal transmitter.
If the signal strength is not sufficient , the base unit stops the receiving process and the radio tower symbol
is not displayed any more. The receiving process is then carried out again at a later time.
In this case, the time will continue as normal.
• First, check if the base unit is in a suitable location
• You can restart the receiving process manually or
• You can wait for the base unit to automatically switch back to receiving mode at a later time. The reception
is usually better at night.
• If reception is not possible at your location, you can set the date and time manually; see the next chapter.
Information : All buttons will be invalid when the weather station is in receiving mode except: 1)
SNOOZE/LIGHT button to illuminate backlight 2) press and hold the + and button together to exit
signal reception manually.

Restarting radio signal reception
Manually restart the radio signal reception by pressing and holding the + and buttons together for 2
seconds.
Turn off Radio signal permanently
Manually turn off the radio signal reception permanently by pressing and holding the MODE and +
buttons together for 2 seconds, the symbol will be constantly displayed.
Setting the time and date manually
1. Press and hold the MODE on until the display for the hour format (24-hour or 12-hour) begins to flash.
2. Set the hour format with the + and buttons. (in the 12-hour format, the afternoon hours are shown
with “PM” on the display)
3. Press MODE to store the setting.
4. Continue as described:
- Set a value with + and .
- Store a setting with MODE .

6. Then press MODE to store the changed setting.
Choosing the location
ATTENTION
- Protect the base unit and wireless sensor from dust, shocks, extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- Protect the base unit from moisture. Only place the base unit in a dry, enclosed space.
- The wireless sensor is protected against moisture but must be protected against water, e.g. rain.

General
The base unit and wireless sensor exchange information over a radio frequency. For this reason, the
location is important for the range of the wireless connection. Note:
• The maximum distance between the base station and wireless sensor is 328 ft (100 meters). However,
this range is only possiblein open area.
• Shielding building materials such as reinforced concrete reduce or prevent the radio reception between
the base station and wireless sensor.
• Devices such as televisions, cordless phones, computers and fluorescent tubes can also interfere with the
wireless reception.
• Do not place the base unit and wireless sensors directly on the floor. This restricts the range.
• In low temperatures in winter the battery performance of the wireless sensors can be significantly reduced.
This reduces the transmitter range.

Weather forecast

After setting up initially, the weather forecast can not be used for about 12 hours, as the weather station
needs this time to collect and evaluate the weather data.
The weather forecast is a result of the collected data and the measured changes in air pressure.
The forecast refers to the area around the weather station with a radius of about 30 to 50 km for the next 12
to 24 hours.
The accuracy of the weather forecast is around 75 %.
When the symbol for the weather forecast begins to flash and the air pressure falls, this is a sign that the
weather is getting worse.
When the air pressure increases again, the symbols display continuously again. An arrow shows the
weather tendency.
rising air pressure = weather will improve
constant air pressure = weather will stay the same
falling air pressure = weather will get worse
Air pressure
You can select absolute or relative air pressure by pressing and holding the HIRSTORY button, Rel. or
Abs. will flash on the display.
1. Use + or buttons to select and press HIRSTORY button to confirm, the air pressure value will flash.
2. Set value with the + and buttons.
